Well I've been hanging around this forum for a while and have gotten some really good ideas and inspiration for my new project. Its a first series '55 that was bought new by my uncle then my dad purchased it from him in the '70's. This old truck just kicked around the farm hauling fuel, parts and whatever else for the last 30 years or so. I have always known I would rebuild it one day but never sure what direction it would take. I have since brought it home and started tearing it down piece by piece. So far I have ordered the ultimate slam ifs from scotts hotrods as well as a triangulated 4 link for the rear and some engine and tranny mounts. I want to really drive this truck when its done so am going the 5.3l gen III route and 4l60e tranny. Not sure if I will leave the body and paint the way it is right now since the body is still in great shape or go all out with it the first time around. Look forward to all of your comments and help along the way. The '86 was my last project that i just sold and will probably regret later but you know how it goes with time and space.
